Chapter 28 28 Dad Needs Help

   "Well...I usually go to Wangji grocery store to buy them. His family has a pair of straw sandals for five cents. Occasionally, there are straw sandals in the market, which are probably four or five cents a pair."

   "Like me and your second brother, you have to scrap at least one pair of straw sandals a month. If you sell them here in the future, my second brother and I will buy them directly from you!"

   Qin Xiaoyao quickly refused.

   "What did the eldest brother say? It doesn't take much effort to make these straw sandals. In the future, I will send it to you and the second brother on a regular basis. Who wants your money?"

   Qin Dahu smiled and scratched his head.

   Then, he and his father looked at each other.

   "If you don't want money, I don't want it." This is the situation in the sister's family. If he still takes advantage, is he still worthy of being a brother?

   Qin Dazhuang also looked at Qin Xiaoyao.

   "That's it. Your eldest brother and second brother will have all the straw sandals for you. And mine. It's counted as five cents a pair, and the first one will give us two pairs."

   said, Qin Dazhuang began to touch the money bag.

   "These three pairs are also counted, and another three pairs are added." Then he began to count the money.

   Qin Xiaoyao refused.

   "I'll make up three more pairs. Dad, you will pay 15 wen. If you insist, I don't want the money, I won't make it up, and I won't give you straw sandals in the future."

   Dad today gave her copper coins and meat, and then helped to pay for the beauty's husband's medical expenses, and also lent her money.

   Big brother also gave her a full two coins.

   She sent three pairs of straw sandals and received money, what's the point?

   Qin Dazhuang knew that his daughter had given in and didn't insist.

   "Okay, take it!" He then counted fifteen copper coins and gave them to Qin Xiaoyao.

   Qin Xiaoyao accepted it.

   "Then you can make it up slowly, I and your big brother will help you get the house." Qin Dazhuang said again.

   "Well, it's hard work for father and brother!" Qin Xiaoyao replied.

   "Hey, what a hard work!" Qin Dahu replied to his sister and left.

   Song Yun on the side saw that her sister-in-law got the copper plate, and her eyes were full of envy.

   Looking at the not very decent straw sandals in his hand, he secretly made up his mind.

   She has to learn to weave straw sandals as soon as possible, so that she can weave straw sandals of the same quality as her sister-in-law.

  In this way, you can send it to the town to sell it for money.

   After a while, Mrs Liu came out.

   said that the water was boiled, and invited Qin Dazhuang and Qin Dahu to drink water.

   The two of them didn't dislike it either. They thanked them and continued to work.

  The roof of the thatched cottage was quickly lifted.

   Qin's father and son not only replaced the broken beam, but also adjusted other beams and tidy up the thatch on the roof.

   It's been an hour since I finished my work.

   After getting off the roof, the two drank a large bowl of boiling water each, and then said goodbye to their daughter and sister.

   "Well, I almost forgot something important. You Uncle Zhao, I went to him." Qin Dazhuang walked quickly to his daughter and said.

   "How is the situation?" Qin Xiaoyao immediately looked at his father.

   "Yes. I said that I would charge you five cents a pound for your yam, and I would ask for a hundred catties."

   "After that, if it sells well, I will continue to buy from you."

   "In addition, wild animals and mountain goods are also accepted at Laifulou. If you have it, you can also send it to him."

   "When the time comes, send it directly to the back kitchen of Laifulou, report his name, and someone will give you a fair price."

   Qin Xiaoyao's eyes lit up when he heard it.

  Five cents, one cent higher than she expected.

   As long as 100 pounds is nothing, she is confident in her yam, and she will definitely need it when she comes to Fulou in the future.

   Anyway, the yam can be put away. After digging it back, she can sell it slowly.

   "Okay! Thank you dad!" Qin Xiaoyao quickly thanked him.

   "Thank you?" Qin Dazhuang glared at his daughter.

   "Also, you straw sandals. I discussed it with your elder brother just now."

   "My pork stall is big enough and the flow of people is not small. If you have time, would you like to make some straw sandals and put them on my stall? I will help you to sell them by the way."

   It is easy to sell straw sandals anyway, you don’t need to weigh them, you can count the money directly by the pair, which doesn’t cost him much.

   Qin Xiaoyao was taken aback.

   "Just listen to Dad. If you can sell it, you can also subsidize some households." Qin Dahu advised.

   Qin Xiaoyao thought for a while, then nodded.

   "Success! That is to try. However, I can't let Daddy Bai help."

   "In this way, Dad, you can help me sell a pair for four cents. If you sell a pair, I will share your hard work."

   Her sandals are of good shape and quality.

   There should be a certain market for selling Siwen.

   Even if she pays one cent to her father, she can get three cents for a pair.

  The straw in the countryside is worthless, except that it takes some time to weave, but it costs nothing.

   It is not impossible to rely on this to make more money for the family.

   Qin Dazhuang immediately refused.

   "Father, if you don't agree, this matter will be abandoned." Unexpectedly, Qin Xiaoyao said again.

   Qin Dahu smiled and patted his father's shoulder.

   "Okay, just do as my sister said. In this way, when you go back, you can deal with your aunt."

   Qin Dazhuang glared at his eldest son angrily.

  It's ridiculous, he even made fun of him as a father.

   "Okay. Then you have made the straw sandals, remember to send them." Suppressing the helplessness in his heart, Qin Dazhuang said to his daughter.

   "Success!" Qin Xiaoyao happily agreed.

   Immediately after Qin Dazhuang and Qin Dahu said they were leaving, they sent their father and elder brother out.

   has been sent out of the village entrance, on the official road, Qin Xiaoyao only returned under the urging of the two.

   Along the way, someone in Xiashui Village saw the liveliness.

   Seeing that Qin Dazhuang and Qin Dahu have a good relationship with Qin Xiaoyao, some previous rumors were quickly broken.

  Why doesn't the Qin family recognize this girl?

   As soon as I heard that my son-in-law was injured, my father-in-law and eldest brother-in-law came to the door. Does this mean that they do not recognize him?

   It seems that the Song family is not too unlucky.

  With the help of the Qin family, Song Dalang's injury may still be cured.

   Qin Xiaoyao didn't care about this, and went home and continued to weave straw shoes.

   After all, it is a profitable business. I make a few pairs a day and sell it for some food to make a living.

   Seeing the sister-in-law coming back, Song Yun hurriedly continued to stare at Qin Xiaoyao's weaving straw sandals, read and learned carefully, and wanted to learn this craft as soon as possible.

  The Liu family already knew that the Qin family had promised to help their daughter-in-law sell straw sandals, and they thought it was a good business opportunity, so they came together.

   "Otherwise, I'll study hard. When I learn it, Yun'er and I will weave straw sandals at home, so you can relax too."

   Qin Xiaoyao took time to look up and glanced at his mother-in-law.

   "Can't you also make money doing embroidery? Weaving these straw sandals can hurt your hands more than needlework." He said.

   "You can earn some money from embroidery, but it's slow." Mrs Liu said.

   "Our family has little capital. I usually only pick up some embroidery purses at the embroidery village."

   "As for the Nishang Embroidery Shop in the town, you can take ten purses and a deposit of three cents. You have to pay a deposit of thirty cents for one time."

   "After the pattern is embroidered, return it to the embroidery village. One is seven wen. Only ten can earn forty wen. This is not even the cost of producing the embroidery thread yourself."
